Early-career Fellow Psychotherapist

3 weeks ago

Chicago, United States Roamers Therapy LLC Full time

Roamers Therapy is a private practice in Chicago, which was built on our understanding of how hard it can be to find a modern & down-to-earth therapist.

We provide individual and couples therapy services and we work particularly well with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal stressors. We take a trauma-informed, evidence-based, LGBTQIA affirming, and culturally sensitive approach to therapy to help our clients achieve mental well-being.

We provide a thoughtfully structured work environment for our clinical team members with _**mínimal administrative overhead**_**.**

We strive to meet our clients' needs and prefences to our best ability as a trauma-informed practice, so all new provisionally licensed clinicians will be expected to have _**in-person availability at all workdays**_ to provide both in-person and telehealth options to our clients. We also see telehealth as an invaluable option to serve our clients who prefer attending their sessions virtually for any reason (e.g., distance, preference, schedule), so our physical offices are designed and decorated for conducting both in-person and telehealth sessions comfortably.

We have been enjoying a strong connection with our clients and we attribute our success to our _**client-first approach**_ with a strong focus on quality of care, reliability, dependability, and ethics.

**Job Summary**

Early career fellow members of our clinical team are first-time private practice providers who are either recent graduates of clinical social work or counseling programs, or are switching from another line of social work to practicing psychotherapy. They receive more intensive support from their supervisors and they have stricter professional development requirements. They primarily provide evidence-based individual and couples therapy services to adult clients in our outpatient practice office located in South Loop neighborhood. They treat a range of presenting problems such as anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, relationship issues, race and ethnicity issues, self-esteem and trauma, while keeping each client’s unique identity and desired goals at the front and the center. We also expect clinicians to submit their progress notes within the same calendar day, attend at least one-hour-per-week individual supervision, contribute to our psychoeducational outreach efforts, pursue professional development, and be an active participant in our team meetings.

**Key recurring tasks of this position include**:
1. Conducting full length (53-60 min) psychotherapy sessions with clients on a weekly basis
- Providing evidence based psychotherapy treatment using a range of modalities such as the Psychodynamic method, CBT, DBT, and Gottman method.
- If clinically necessary, referring clients to appropriate level of care (e.g., psychological evaluation, medication, intensive outpatient program)
- If clinically necessary, intervening when a crisis presents itself and taking appropriate actions to ensure safety of client(s)
- Engaging in psychoeducation during sessions as needed to help clients better understand the mental health landscape
- Upholding and modeling strong boundaries
- Upholding and modeling reliability, dependability, and punctuality
- Prioritizing client care and well being above all else
- Preparing strong progress notes and posting them within the same day

2. Attending one hour weekly supervision with a fully licensed clinician

3. Occasionally conducting 15-minute phone consultations with prospective clients (compensated work)

4. Completing minimum 3 hours of self-guided professional development training per week

5. Developing psychotherapy tools (e.g., worksheets, resources, guides, cheat sheets) to be shared with the whole team.

6. Contributing to our psychoeducational outlets.

**Key Traits**

We see our early-career fellow psychotherapist opening as a starter position. We understand that any early-career fellow clinician will need strong supervision and ongoing professional development opportunities so that they can close any gaps in their clinical knowledge/skills while providing therapy services to their clients to their absolute best ability. If you are just graduating from your master’s program or if you plan to transition to private practice from another line of work, this position may be a good fit for you.

According to best practices of mental health care and codes of ethics, we expect our early-career fellow clinicians to be fully committed to the following principles:

- Integrity
- Honesty
- Adhering to our profession’s ethics code
- Reliability
- Dependability
- Client-first approach

**Minimum expected qualifications**
- Holding an MSW, MA or equivalent degree from a Social Work or Counseling program.
- A strong internship experience and at least two references from your internship.
- Satisfactory knowledge in at least modern evidence based psychotherapy modalities (e.g., ACT, CBT,
